Former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steve Sund reflects on the agency he once led and the struggles he encountered in the lead-up to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. “12:53 pm,” he said. “We’re dealing with the pipe bomb over at the Capitol Hill Club and somebody said, ‘Hey chief, we’ve got a crowd approaching our west front.’”At the time, Sund was Chief of the United States Capitol Police and he knew his officers were unprepared.
Sund was publicly blamed for the security failures that day and called out by name by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The next day, he was pressured to turn in his resignation. Even as he aggressively revealed there had been failures at multiple levels of government.
